MISSISSIPPI LAW
93-1-1. Certain marriages declared incestuous and void.
1. (1) . . . .The father shall not marry his son's widow; |
We'll I'll be durned!
I need to research my jokes harder before posting.
"First-cousin marriage without restriction is permitted in nineteen states — Alabama, Alaska, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, and Virginia—and the District of Columbia."
The Mississippi law on father's not being permitted to marry his son's widow is interesting, since presumably there is no blood relationship at all between a father and his son's widow. The lonely widow should be fair game for Pops.
